The performances of M-ary PSK(MPSK) systems using L-branch maximum ratio combining(MRC) diversity reception in frequency-nonselective slow Rician fading channels are derived theoretically. Especially we investigate the effect of number of symbols on the difference between the approximation to bit error probability and the exact bit error rate(BER) in evaluating the performance of MPSK signals through numerical analyses. On the other hand, when M-ary DPSK(MDPSK) signals experience the Rician fading channels, the general formula for evaluating BER of MDPSK signals in the independent branch diversity system is presented using the integral-form expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to theoretically analysis of performance of MRC diversity for detection of M-ary signals on the Rician fading channels. To do it, the difference between the approximation to bit error probability and the exact bit error rate (BER) in evaluating the performance of MPSK signals is investigated by numerical analyses. In addition, the performance evaluation of MDPSK signals in the independent branch diversity is performed by an integral-form expression in case of when MDPSK signal in MRC system is experiencing the Rician fading.
